Portfolio Below can be found two C++ programs that Stephen Fluin began making in 1998 in his spare time. . The concept behind the program was that it would practice interaction with a changeable file, while at the same time mimicking a single player text based role playing game known as a MUD. Also check out the Yahtzee game he designed, complete with high score tables and customizable themes. This project is also in the process of being ported into Flash.
